Yria / Keltius In Pecctaum Sixpounder
Mead - 23º
Yria
This massive Experimental Mead offers an opulent sensory journey, showcasing the interplay between rich honey and twelve months of bourbon barrel aging. At a staggering 23% ABV, the profile is dominated by decadent notes of wildflower honey, Madagascar vanilla, and toasted coconut derived from the wood. The bourbon influence introduces deep layers of caramel and charred oak, while the extended maturation provides a smooth, albeit powerful, alcoholic warmth. This is a viscous, slow-sipping nectar where the sweetness of the honey base is tempered by the tannins of the barrel, resulting in a complex, lingering finish of toffee and spiritous heat.
